Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of encoding and/or decoding data for optical data transmission along a transmission link, as well as corresponding transmitters and receivers. The data is encoded based on an adaptive constellation diagram in a 2-D plane, said constellation diagram including a first and a second pair of symbols, wherein the symbols of the first pair of symbols are located at opposite sides of the origin of the 2-D plane at a first distance di from each other, and wherein the symbols of the second pair of symbols are located at opposite sides of the origin of the 2-D plane at a second distance d2 from each other. The method comprises a step of adapting the constellation diagram by varying the ratio of the first and second distances d1, d2 such as to minimize or nearly minimize a bit error rate in the transmitted data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a service provisioning tool and method for determining favorable implementations of a service in a grid-less optical network, wherein said service provisioning tool is configured to assign total cost values to a given implementations, select the implementation or a group of implementations having the lowest cost, wherein said total cost values are based on —cost values regarding selectable data rates on individual links, —cost values regarding necessity to install additional equipment, —cost values regarding selectable signal frequency bands. One or more of said cost values are dynamically changing as a function of one or more of the degree of utilization, the lifetime of the service, the time available for establishing the service, a modulation format and a signal power. The cost value per band width varies, depending on one or more of the size of the selected frequency band, and to what extent the selected frequency band fills gaps between occupied spectral ranges or creates gaps remaining between occupied spectral ranges.

Abstract: A decoding system for an iterative decoding of a parity check code comprises a first loop circuit adapted to store log-likelihood ratio values corresponding to a plurality of received data symbols in a memory unit; a second loop circuit adapted to compute a difference between a check-to-variable log-likelihood message at a second iteration step, and a check-to-variable log-likelihood message at a first iteration step, when the first iteration step precedes the second iteration step; and an adder unit adapted to update a log-likelihood ratio value stored on the first loop circuit by adding the difference computed in the second loop circuit; wherein the first loop circuit and the second loop circuit are synchronized such that the adder unit forwards the updated log-likelihood ratio value synchronously both to the first loop circuit and to the second loop circuit.

Abstract: A network element of a software-defined network comprises a data transfer interface (210) for receiving and transmitting data and a processing system (215) for constructing a software-defined data path and a fixed-functionality data path such as for example an IP/MPLS or L2 switching path. The software-defined data path comprises look-up tables for selecting software-defined actions and the fixed-functionality data path defines fixed-functionality actions. The processing system is adapted to convert metadata associated with data managed by the software-defined data path to a data format suitable for the fixed-functionality data path when one or more of the fixed-functionality actions are needed in conjunction with forwarding the data. One of the fixed-functionality actions is selected at least partly on the basis of which one of the look-up tables was most recently accessed, and the determined fixed-functionality action is carried out so as to initiate the one or more needed fixed-functionality actions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a decoder 10 for decoding a family of L rate compatible parity check codes, said family of parity check codes comprising a first code that can be represented by a bipartite graph having variable nodes, check nodes, and edges, and L−1 codes of increasingly lower code rate, among which the i-th code can be represented by a bipartite graph corresponding to the bipartite graph representing the (i−1)-th code, to which an equal number of n1 variable nodes and check nodes are added, wherein the added check nodes are connected via edges with selected ones of the variable nodes included in said i-th code, while the added variable nodes are connected via edges with selected added check nodes only. The decoder comprising L check node processing units 14, among which the i-th check node processing unit processes only the check nodes added in the i-th code over the (i−1)-th code, wherein said L check node processing units 14 are configured to operate in parallel.

Abstract: An optical IQ modulator (IQM) including two parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) generates single sideband data signals. A control unit (18) generates additional optical single sideband pilot signals (PS1, PS2) positioned in a lower and a higher sideband respectively, and also further pilot signals (PS3, PS4) in both sidebands. A IQ modulator output signal (MOS) converted into electrical monitoring signals (MOS) and monitored. A control unit (18) selects control signals (CS12, CS3, CS4) and controls the IQ modulator via its bias ports (6, 7, 8) till the power transfer functions (PTF) of the Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM1, MZM2) and the phase difference (ΔΦ) between their output signals is optimized.

Abstract: A photonic cross-connect arrangement is presented which is able to cope with the transmission of super-channels, wherein complete super-channels are dropped and added to change a direction of transport. At least a cyclic filter is used in a drop-branch of a cross-connect for dividing a super-channel into sub-channels and/or at least a further cyclic filter is used in an add-branch to configure a super-channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for decoding an optical data signal. Said optical data signal is phase and amplitude modulated according to a constellation diagram with at least eight constellation points representing non-binary symbols. Said decoding method comprises the following steps: —carrying out a carrier phase recovery of a received signal ignoring the possible occurrence of phase slips, —decoding said signal after phase recovery, wherein in said decoding, possible cycle slips occurring during phase recovery are modelled as virtual input to an equivalent encoder assumed by the decoding scheme. Further disclosed are a related encoding method as well as a receiver and a transmitter.
